Here is the easiest way to make your own GIFs

While the eternal debate on how to pronounce GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) continues, these animated images that are something in between a photograph and a video are becoming more and more popular across social media platforms and publishers all over the Internet. Due to their widespread and increasing popularity, there is now an extremely easy way to make your own GIFs without the need for a special software, thanks to the website Giphy.

Giphy is an archive of GIFs that collects all kinds of animations that can reflect virtually every existing situation or mood, and now you can contribute with your own. All you have to do is access Giphy's GIF Maker and paste the URL of a video from which you want to select a part. The video will load in the player and you will be prompted to pick a starting time and a duration. Once you make your selection, hit "Create GIF" and enjoy your newly created animation.
